Dell PowerEdge 11th Generation Servers for SMBs (R710, R610, T610)

The Dell PowerEdge 11th Generation server architecture contains several technology advancements compared to its 9th Generation predecessor. CPUs include Quickpath Interconnect bus technology, offering an embedded memory controller to allow separate data paths for I/O and memory access. This feature dramatically reduces latency compared to the 9th generation servers. Secondly, Intel Xeon 5500 & 5600 Processors, with up to 6-cores per CPU, are designed for performance in multi-role, virtualized environments. Intel Xeon Processors also have Turbo Boost and Hyper-Threading technology, allowing overclocking to maximize CPU speed as well as the ability to run multiple threads on each CPU so users can run demanding applications simultaneously.

Dell PowerEdge 11th Generation servers also utilize the latest memory speeds up to 1333MHz, compared to the 667MHz in previous 9th and 10th generation servers. This line offers more affordable and scalable memory options. For example, the R710 has 18 DIMM slots and supports up to 288GB of RAM, while the previous generation 2950 has just 8 DIMM slots and only 64GB of RAM .

The 11th Generation PowerEdge line price is an affordable entry point for customers interested in building a virtualized environment, with highly scalable memory options, robust storage options and processor performance that greatly exceeds preceding generations. The R710, R610, and T610 have been the most robust and scalable small and mid-size business server solutions for several years. Aventis Systems often uses these server solutions as a starting point for many of the common virtualization and server roles for today's demanding IT environments.
